More becomes slave to white skin Chappell and made Dravid accordingly.
Last two years you all were doing all shorts of nonsense experiments. Even because of that Irfan Pathan got damaged. He forgot what he is, bowler, batsman or all-rounder.
Now Chappell and Dravid is seekign excuse and blaming the overall team instead of taking blame of themselves.
This Chappell, Dravid and Kiron More are the CHEAPest personals indian cricket have ever seen.
Kiron More has gone but his shadow is coming out through Rediff repeatedly, now Chappell and Dravid must be sacked to get some enegy to TEAM-INDIA once created by Ganguly.

Team India was not created by Ganguly....Dravid was most consistent player under Ganguly.. how consistent was Ganguly under Dravid.. Dravid took full responsibility of WC defeat inspite of cricket being team game. No arguments on Dravid's legacy.

Can you say when was the Dravid highest scored and team INDIA won the match. Answer is NO. How can you say Dravid is most consistent.
About Ganguly, as soon as Dravid took captaincy he became slave of Greig Chappell and played notorious act not to include Ganguly in the team. After Ganguly's return into the team, his performance in the team is not as bad as Dravid to win a match.
Once Dravid was supposed to be kicked out of ODI team. Ganguly only acted for him and made him wicket keeper in order to keep him in the team. Instead Dravid (most hypocrite) tried to finish Ganguly's career and becomes slave of Chappell.
Gowda, Dravid took the responsibility of the dfeat and only told you. Did he resign from captaincy for such a pathetic performance and he could not lead the team properly and make lot of IDIOTIC mistakes during fielding and batting too.

Dravids legacy is the fallacy! Ganguly made Dravids career stable .Remember Dravid in early days used to be a very slow player. But Dravid tried to finish Ganguls career. Tell me how many times Ganguly was allowed to play in Dravids captaincy. Nevertheless, I believe both of them have some positive and negative points and both of them are great players as well. Dravid has some classic touch in his batting which I like as others do also. But the obsession of captaincy has been eating away his batting form. He may throw that up and let an young player be trained.

dravid anchored the scueess of ganguly as succes ful captain. but ganguly ditched dravid and WC is best event for that.team won 18 odis by cahsing without ganguly under dravid captaincy. ganguly had great comeback but always played for self , saving wkt, scoring runs to cement his place. in SA it is sreesant, pathan and dinesh karthick ganguly is promoting groupism. he did not built any team When ganguly was out and dravid made captain team was ranked 8 in ICC ranking, now even after early exit from WC it is ranked ^th and odi winning average difference is only 1% for dravid when comapred ganguly 5 yrs success. ganguly led team for more nos matches and had 38 wins againsst weaker side like kenya, namibia, Indian captains in ODIs

Man.. Dravid is so flexible.... he was forced to be wicket keeper inspite of him being NOT a natural wicket-keeper just to balance the team. How can this person who plays in the interest of team can end some 1s career.. if u got to blame some 1, then it should be chappel...Not only Dravid, every 1 struggled when Chappel came in ......

enrgy?TEAM INDIA WAS CREATED BY THE MEDIA NOT BY GANGULY,WHICH WAS GOOD ONLY AGAINST LOWLY CRICKET PLAYING COUNTRIES, HE WON IN AUSTRALIA A TEST MACTH ONLY BECAUSE MCGRATH AND WARNE WERE NOT PLAYING, SO MUCH FOR TESM INDAI WHICH IS INCONSISTENT PLAY ONLY FOR THEIR RECORDS LIKE SACHIN TENDULKAR WHO WAS UPSET WHEN DRAVID DECLARED 6 RUNS BEFORE DOUBLE CENTURY WHICH WOULD PUT EVEN A SNAIL TO SHAME AND HE IS NURSING AGRUDGE AGAINST DRAVID, SO HE AND HIS AGENTS ARE GOOD AT PUTTING THEIR OWN INTREST BEFORE THE COUNTRY UNLIKE DRAVID OR LIKE GR VISHVANATH

It is not going to workout simply sending dravid/chappel out.Since the investments on these guys interms of time and effort and costs are unimaginable from indian cricket, they shd give their exposure and the expertise till a new member can take it up, what will happen to those expertise gained by dravid serving india for a long long time. we are out of WC, not because of anything to chase a moderate total of 256. till that time we had good scope of continuing in WC.
